Yes indeed, it is Sunset Saturday once again, and the Stikmeister actually has a smile on his face, because wonder of wonders, we finally had a winning turn, 3-2-0!! I will take it and do the dance of joy! Those 2-3's were getting really, really old...

Tolbin, a pleasant surprise to see you posting and putting your name to your team at last, welcome!

And to Mob B--, Scr--uhh, Alfre--no, CHUCK! Cat's out of the bag at last (although I'm sure some knew it was you) and you have arrived back in the Arena of Death at last, welcome back! Time to split some skulls, spill some blood, and drink 'til we can't see straight!
Sunset is my home arena, but I was inactive in the 90's when as I understand the Dark Circle made it it's home as well. What was your team here back then? At any rate you're off to a nice start with the new one!

Nomad, nice outgoing challenge with Gitchi to catch Kano actually playing one of his sleepers!

Congrats to the new DM, Hardy, he has paid his dues I think! Let's see if he can hold onto that throne!

Welcome back as well to Bubbaganoosh and 420 B.C., good to see you back on the sands!

And we still have an undefeated warrior, a piker no less, now in champions, nice going Tolliver! Couple other undefeateds below him too, ones to watch!

I'm guessing we had some solid tourney participation this time around from our arena. Hopefully the tourney arrives, with newsletter, today, and I can see for myself. I know Evnmor survived at least, since he fought this turn (and lost to the guy he pounded last turn, thanks Ben!).

We seriously need to start making an effort (myself definitely included) to get more personal ads in. I know everybody's busy and we also have chatzy and this site to comment much quicker on the latest turn, but to me it's a bad sign when everybody clams up and quits writing ads, it's an early sign of things slowing down, and I do NOT want that to happen to Sunset. We've worked too hard the last few years to build it back up to one of the best regular arenas around, let's keep it that way guys. We need ads, DM columns, and the occasional spotlight to keep things interesting! Nuff said. Stik out.

Well now, that was interesting. Two 20+ point down-challenges this turn.

Kano drops 20+ to get one of my guys (Wambasu)
I drop 20+ to nail one of his turn-skipping scum.

I guess that seems fair!

I meant to post after last turn that Kano was likely to start running his champion scum again, but forgot. Good thing, though, since it left one of them open to my challenge and the other lost on his own challenge. It couldn't have gone better. As an FYI to all, I suspect those two will likely keep fighting for awhile now that my two scum hunters (6'6" slasher Lupus Major and AB Batwamba) have graduated. He didn't fear my out-going plunger. He should have.

But challenge away with your ABs!

2-2 for the Tribe. Not sure why Ozadanwin didn't fight. I thought I sent in a turn sheet. But at least both he and Donegal return to the arena alive.

The Mob Boss! I knew it was someone like that, but didn't know the exact identity. Cool. Welcome! Also welcome back to Bubaganoosh and who ever else just got here or just returned.

Thanks guys, I have needed a good turn, I have had a string of bad turns with a good one thrown in every now and then so I will take this 4-1 and top team on the move and run to the Broken Bone Tavern for some well deserved drinks.

I am hoping that I get my arena AND tourney fights today. Doesn't look like any of my dead came back but I will try again. King Tootnpootn went 0-2 so I probably won't send him back.

Archelf, that's a tough tourney by any measuring stick. I am just about ready to swear off them myself, the results are so dismal it's not worth the money most times. There are just too many others who are way better at it than me, more dedicated (some to just tourneys and nothing else) and more willing and able to spend a lot more money on rollups and entries and FtF trips.
